Drop the thinly sliced leeks (tender green parts as well as white) into ½-inch fast-boiling salted water.

Season, enrich with knobs of butter and thin with a little of the cooking liquor if liked.
Serve garnished with a bouquet of green coriander and triangles of fried bread.
Add some soft-boiled eggs for a quick vegetarian supper.
